LevelK welcomes ‘The Guest’ starring Trine Dyrholm for Cannes market sales
LevelK has boarded international sales on family drama The Guest starring Trine Dyrholm.
The company will introduce the film to buyers at this week’s Cannes Marche du Film (May 12-20).
Currently in the final stages of post-production, The Guest is the debut feature of director Mads Mengel, written by Mengel and Christian Bengtson. It begins the day before a young couple christen their firstborn child, when the father’s own mother turns up uninvited having not spoken to her son for years. She is determined to prove her worth as a grandmother and mother, leading to a weekend of revived painful memories and long-buried family dynamics.
Dyrholm stars alongside rising Danish star Simon Bennebjerg, Josephine Park, Mette Klakstein Wiberg, Peter Gantzler and Petrine Agger. The film shot mainly at the Marienlyst Strandhotel, in Helsingor, Denmark.
It is produced by Victor Cunha for Copenhagen-based Monolit Film, which has previously made titles including 2022 San Sebastian entry The Great Silence and CPH:DOX 2025 non-fiction feature Death Of A Saint. Read the rest at Screendaily
